Volume 7.5, Chapter 2: Ibuki\'s One Misfortunate Day Part 2

Once the movie ends, I\'ll leave without watching the end credits too. Such a vision that I had imagined was all too quickly smashed to pieces. It had become an unexpected situation.

I waited and waited but the screening did not resume. Perhaps the trouble with the equipment is proving to be difficult or it\'s just that they\'re inefficient. Both Ibuki and I are feeling equally awkward so I\'d like to get this over with already.

"Hah".

Such unabashed sighs came repeatedly from Ibuki. However, in a situation like this, it\'s understandable to want to sigh. I\'ve already started to lose interest in the movie.

"Ahh---.....what do you think is going to happen?".

No longer able to stand this silence, I tried initiating a conversation like that. Since she must be curious about what\'s going to happen too, Ibuki should not be leaving her seat. If this were not the case, she would have left a long time ago.

Or it\'s simply that since the other students were showing no signs of leaving, she could not do so either? However, Ibuki rested her chin on her hand while placing it on the armrest opposite from me and showed no signs of even looking at me.

I felt as though an opaque glass or a considerably thick glass had been placed between me and Ibuki.

Needless to say, Ibuki\'s attitude was one that was saying \'You\'re annoying so don\'t talk to me\'.

I thought as much, but it might be better if I stopped beating around the bush here. Even now it feels as though a poisonous snake is about to leap out and bite down on my arm. As a result, I decided to remain silent. But, when exactly is the screening going to resume I wonder. Even though it\'s only here and there, students who were beginning to tire of having to wait have already begun leaving their seats.

I had thought Ibuki would have gone along with this flow and leave too, but she isn\'t showing any signs of leaving her seat. Perhaps she simply wishes to see the continuation of the movie or perhaps---

In any case, I too, want to watch this movie to the end and see how it concludes. If I don\'t, then the very meaning of having come here to watch it in the first place would be lost. I suppose this is the time to show off my perseverance. Switching on my phone, I checked the time.

Approximately 20 minutes have passed since the announcement. Not just this screening, it seems like this is going to have a huge impact on the next screening as well. As I turned back and looked, the number of customers remaining had sharply decreased down to only a few people, including me and Ibuki.

If they had come to see the movie alone, they may have persevered, but in the case of couples they could not afford to keep their partners waiting. They probably don\'t want to waste their precious time alone with their lovers in here. I should interpret this as them having migrated away before it gets too boring.

".........you, aren\'t you going back?".

As I lowered my gaze down to my phone, Ibuki called out to me. She had turned her head away from me to the extent I could not see her expression.

It seems her suspicion towards the fact that I had not left caused her to speak out.

"I\'ve already watched 80% of it and honestly, I\'m curious about how it\'ll conclude. It\'s already been a 20 minutes wait so it should be resuming soon".

I\'ve persevered up until now, so it would be a waste for me to go back now. A mysterious theory like that formed inside my head.

"If it\'s about the conclusion, you can search it on the net and as much results as you want will show up, right? Including whether or not it was interesting".

"I don\'t feel like reading the reviews reflecting the opinions of others".

The true quality of the work, whether it be good or bad, is something that I won\'t know unless I watch it myself.

Of course, it can be a reference index that could be used to decide whether or not to watch the movie but it is by no means something that can be used to evaluate the movie. Not to mention if 1 or 2 lines explaining something as important as the climax can satisfy you, there would be no need to even think about coming here to the theater and watching it.

"I don\'t care about this movie anymore. I just don\'t want to leave before you, that is all".

"You\'re rather straightforward".

It seems she\'s persevering for a reason completely unrelated to the movie itself. However, unfortunately enough, Ibuki won\'t be winning this contest.

It\'s a draw. I have no intention of leaving my seat until the screening resumes. I suppose this could be interpreted as being the advantage a man who has no plans for Christmas Eve tomorrow has.

The thing which concluded this contest between the two of us was a sad announcement. That was, the fact that the trouble with the equipment could not be fixed and the screening would be cancelled. It was also explained that the process of reimbursing us would occur.

"I\'m really not in luck".

In other words, if I wanted to know the conclusion, I\'d either have to wait until I could borrow the movie and then borrow it or simply read the spoilers on a review site to complete it.

Even though the cancellation of the screening had been announced, without even looking at me, Ibuki still showed no signs of moving. So I decided to leave the movie theater since my business here is done.
